Standing with James: non-Hodgkin lymphoma treatment costs

James is facing non-Hodgkin lymphoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Québec
James was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in August. The oncology team at the Québec Oncology Institute has planned 6 rounds of treatment, starting in November. He will be away from work for about 4 weeks. James is 31, worked as a cleaner at a hospital until August, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after him. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to the Québec Oncology Institute 2 times a week, and the income the family has lost add up quickly. We've already sold what we could and have begun borrowing for groceries. Every kindness from you takes weight off his shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $4,200 goes: • Scans and lab work: $720 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $2,700 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $780 Thank you so much.

    • Sophia G. VasquezQuestion

      is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for James.

      • Scarlett M. RiveraOwnerAnswer

        Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. scans and lab work comes first ($720) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks for asking.

    • Rakib Asif Mahmud

      Thinking of you and your family, Scarlett. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Düsseldorf so I could bring a meal. Blessings.

      • Ramon H. Martinez

        • Lakmal Upul Senanayake

          Hang in there, Scarlett. Looking forward to the next update. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Boulogne-Billancourt.
